Wiggles Workout

Sunday was a rest day. The hubby, kiddo and I went to an architectural tour of the Chase Building downtown that was sponsored by GHPA. Very interesting!

The hubby wanted to go fishing on Monday morning, so my morning run didn't happen. I decided to a core workout instead. I did the Abs Diet workout and noticed the pain in my knee from Saturday's LR again. I probably should have skipped the lunges and squats with weights! I iced the knee afterwards, took an anti-inflammatory and hoped for the best. By the way, the hubby broke my treadmill last night! It's a long story, but I am in mourning. It's not completely broken, but it's stuck on the highest incline...I guess I can do hill training at home now. I will call NordicTrack and see if they have any suggestions. I have a feeling they'll have to send someone out. Yikes...I just hope it can be repaired...I cannot afford to get a new one right now.

This morning, I made it out to the park around 6 am. The view of the full moon on my drive over was fabulous! I managed to make it 3/4s of the way around the loop before the pain in my knee kicked in. I took a walk break, which didn't seem to help much and then finished my loop. After getting ready for work, I treated myself to a Pineapple Pleasure smoothie...very yummy and only 6 pts on WW! I added an energy boost to it, and I think it really helped. I felt pretty energetic for the rest of the day. Later, at home, DD & I danced to all the silly music on her Wiggles DVD....I think I have found a new workout - The Wiggles Workout! I still have that fruit salad, yummy, yummy! song in my head.

About Me

I'm just an average woman trying to be the best version of myself. I'm a mid to back of the back runner, a triathlete (and IRONMAN!), trying to balance the duties of wife, mommy and career with biking, swimming, and running with some strength training sprinkled in. Oh and I am obsessed with nutrition and trying to keep myself on track. Sometimes I'm pretty damn good at juggling everything. Other times I am a complete and total mess. But I've found that Margarita's can help...too bad they have so many calories! :0)

The Hubby

My college sweetheart, my hunk, the love of my life (and fellow Ironman). He decided to give this running and triathlon thing a try a few of years ago and has been rocking it! He also happens to be a blackbelt in Hapkido and a Jiu Jitsu bad ass, as well as a master beer brewer!

The Kiddo

This cutie is our first born. She's sweet, cute, fun and very sassy! Always dancing, singing and being silly...she always makes us smile!

The Munchkin

He's a rough and tumble Momma's boy, but also a cuddle bug when he wants to be. With his silly antics, there's never a dull moment!

Brady

This is our crazy, GSP pup. He joined our family in March 2012 and while he can drive us with all his energy, I guess we'll keep him!
